One simple act of kindness is about to shatter the walls Eleanor has built around herself. Nothing is missing from her carefully timetabled life. She wears the same clothes to work every day, eats the same meal deal for lunch every day and buys the same two bottles of vodka to drink every weekend.Įleanor Oliphant is happy. Eleanor Oliphant has learned how to survive but not how to live. The title Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine is declarative enough to give rise to a silent question, one that becomes vexing within the first few pages of the book: Is Eleanor fine Eleanor, at least for the majority of the story, is convinced that, yes, she is. But we are given a throwaway line just for the sake of a little shock value, which might work well in a 90. Rather than being dead, ‘Mummy’ could have just existed in prison like we always thought she was, and that would have blended just fine with the narrative. ![]() ![]() ![]() Winner of the Costa First Novel Award for 2018 and longlisted for the Women's Prize for Fiction for 2018.Īnd soon to be a major motion picture produced by Reese Witherspoon.

The narrator is a young Parsee girl named Lenny, who is suffering from polio. This novel highlights feminist concerns about women’s issues, particularly their experience of victimization and suppression within patriarchal societies and how this suppression takes a brutal form in the face of national upheaval. Ice-Candy-Man is a significant testimony of a gynocentric view of reality in the backdrop of a religious turbulence. Sidhwa, through Ice-Candy-Man critiques the stereotypical images of women and fights for their empowerment. The novel Ice-Candy-Man may be read as a postcolonial novel attempting to portray the life and times of the Partition of India giving due importance to the other marginal sections of society based on the distinction of gender, class, caste, or religion. This religion based division resulted in mass violence, murder, and rape. It represents a series of female characters who have survived in a chaotic time of 1947 in India, the period of worst religious riots in the history of India. ![]() Originally published as Ice-Candy Man, Cracking India is a semi-autobiographical text in which Bapsi Sidhwa through the lens of her childhood memories recounts the events surrounding Partition. ![]() ![]() ![]() However, if you're looking for something enjoyable, I suggest you look elsewhere. Read Plastic Girl if you're interested in a deeply psychological and brutally surreal manga. The colours are rich and enhance the mood of the illustrations perfectly. The art is simply stunning- being incredibly unique and stylized. ![]() I usually never read manga like this, but Furuya Usamaru's skill lies in that he makes it obvious that the nudity and sexual symbolism serve a much more profound purpose than mindless fan-service for hentai-addicts and lolicons. There are some very graphic scenes here (though nothing resembling rape) - and I would not recommend it to anyone below 18 years of age. 32,479 in Libri ( Visualizza i Top 100 nella categoria Libri) n. but it will be a very relateable for those who have.

Charlotte Sleigh’s Ant elucidates the cultural reasons behind our varied reactions to these extraordinary insects, and considers the variety of responses that humans have expressed at different times and in different places to their intricate, miniature societies. When we encounter them outdoors, ants fascinate us discovered in our kitchen cupboards, they elicit horror and disgust. Ants are legion: at present there are 11,006 species of ant known they live everywhere in the world except the polar icecaps and the combined weight of the ant population has been estimated to make up half the mass of all insects alive today. ![]() ![]() This book, written by Adam Hochschild, the author of King Leopold's Ghost (another book I enjoyed as a teen) is much more of a narrative history, focusing on American members of the Washington-Lincoln Battallion of the International Brigades, as well as medical volunteers and journalists. When I was a teenager, I read Antony Beevor's The Battle for Spain, and I was pleased to find my memory of the subject rush back while reading this book.īeevor's book is definitely the premier source, as far as I am concerned, for a comprehensive and political look at the war. No self-imposed coursework on the rise of fascism is complete without a book on the Spanish Civil War, the only war (as something I read once said) where the history was written by the losers, perhaps because they went on to win the larger war against fascism. ![]() ![]() ![]() "What are you thinking about?"
